Mind Blowing Special Effects And Photography. It Easily Surpasses Godzilla (2014).

Rating: 10/10 (15 January 2015)

In writing the review for this film, I'm doing the film little justice. This film has to be seen first by the person who reads this review and then he can judge for himself.
First of all we take a look at the director Guillermo del Toro who has made such successful films like Hellboy (2004), its sequel Hellboy II: The Golden Army (2008), Mimic(1997), The Devil's Backbone (2001) and Pan's Labyrinth (2006), and more mainstream American action movies, such as the vampire superhero action film Blade II (2002). You can expect only the best in the special effects and sound-effects department.
The cast is also equally good. All the actors act naturally and set the mood for the film. The script is very effective - there is never a dull moment in the film. I particularly liked the role of Idris Elba as Stacker Pentecost. Other notable actors are Ron Perlman of Hellboy fame and Santiago Segura who played the fiendish vampire named Rush in Blade 2, Charlie Day and Burn Gorman. The hero and heroine of the film are played by Charlie Hunnam as Raleigh Becket and Rinko Kikuchi as Mako Mori.
Plot of film: a rift opens in the floor of the Pacific ocean in 2013, revealing a portal that connects between the earth and another dimension far across the universe. Through this rift Kaijus, colossal alien beasts which attack the human cities, come. To combat them the Pacific Rim nations build the Jaegers, equally colossal robotic war machines. Each Jaeger is piloted by two people whose brains are linked (called "drifting") to share the mental load of operating the machine. The Jaegers are initially effective, but many are destroyed as the Kaijus grow more powerful and their attacks more frequent. Finally humanity on the brink of extinction must make a final attempt to stop the aliens for good.
Verdict: by all means buy this film if you can afford it and watch it at home on your LED TV. This film is value for money if seen at your local cineplex.
